Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 324 - 323: Xingxing Has a Fever

Of course, it’s just a bit better than the other dishes.

Gu Jia Ning is quite picky, so even she finds it a bit lacking.

But this man, as long as it’s something she made, he eats it happily and joyfully.

Moreover, Gu Jia Ning can tell that he genuinely thinks it’s delicious and praises it sincerely.

This makes Gu Jia Ning find it both funny and exasperating.

"I wonder if Xingxing can sleep well tonight..." Sheng Zexi said while eating noodles, recalling the scene he witnessed when he first arrived.

When he arrived, wasn’t it just the moment when the tall, thin man stabbed Xingxing with a dagger?

No one knows how Sheng Zexi felt witnessing that scene.

At that moment, his heart almost burst out of his chest.

He was extremely angry and distressed.

He couldn’t imagine how he would explain to Ningning if something had happened to Xingxing.

He would be so heartbroken.

In his panic, he even forgot that Gu Jia Ning had already given amulets to him and the children.

Ningning had explained the function of the amulets to him.

It wasn’t until he saw that Xingxing was unharmed and noticed the broken red string that he suddenly remembered.

And then he felt relieved.

He also knew about the magical nature of the amulets.

Even more, he knew this magic came from his wife.

There was a time when he was worried about Ningning’s magic.

Worried that her magic could somehow harm her.

Also worried about what would happen if her magic was accidentally exposed.

But now, thinking about it, this magic has brought great protection and help to their family.

Sheng Zexi even felt like there was an "invisible guardian" he knew, quietly protecting their family.

This made Sheng Zexi truly grateful.

He also hoped this kind of protection could continue on and on.

"What exactly happened at that time? I sensed that Xingxing’s amulet was broken," Gu Jia Ning asked urgently.

Sheng Zexi was surprised that Ningning could sense the amulet breaking from the family quarters.

Ningning must have been very worried and anxious at that time.

He couldn’t help but reach out, holding Gu Jia Ning’s hand, "Don’t worry, everything’s fine now."

"Then tell me what happened, I asked Xingxing but he was evasive," she said.

Sheng Zexi understood, seemingly Xingxing didn’t want to worry his mom, so he didn’t tell her directly.

Sheng Zexi naturally didn’t want Ningning to worry either.

But seeing Ningning’s determination, he knew he had to tell her.

So, Sheng Zexi briefly explained what happened without going into too much detail, worried Ningning would become anxious.

Gu Jia Ning could tell.

She couldn’t help but sigh.

These two, father and son...

Feeling helpless yet a bit touched inside.

She knew they both didn’t want her to worry.

Since they’re both safe and sound now, she didn’t press for more details.

Seeing Gu Jia Ning not pressing further, Sheng Zexi also breathed a sigh of relief.

He feared if she asked more questions, he wouldn’t know how to answer.

He didn’t want to lie to Ningning, nor did he want her to worry.

Luckily, Ningning didn’t press further.

To divert Gu Jia Ning’s attention, Sheng Zexi began talking about what happened afterward.

After all, it was Ningning who first showed her the future newspaper.

And the "Invisible Glasses" were also given to him by Ningning.

Hearing that all bombs were dismantled and the drug dealers were captured, Gu Jia Ning was relieved.

Great, at least the casualties reported in the newspaper from the previous life won’t happen.

Truly wonderful.

Just...

"You’re saying, you saw many bombs hidden underwater with the Invisible Glasses, and you guys went diving to retrieve them?" Gu Jia Ning asked in surprise.

"Yes, and you wouldn’t believe what we found..."

When Gu Jia Ning heard that they actually found dozens of large boxes and military supplies along with yellowtail fish left by the retreating soldiers of R Country, she was amazed.

"It’s great that you were able to find them," Really, Gu Jia Ning never expected they’d find such things.

"We have you to thank for the Invisible Glasses, otherwise, we really wouldn’t have discovered them."

If they hadn’t discovered them now, who knows how long until someone would find them, or if they’d ever be found?

"You’ve accomplished a great deed this time." 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Star and Yueyue, it was indeed a fortunate mistake."

"Indeed."

Both Gu Jia Ning and Sheng Zexi were filled with emotions.

If Xingxing and Yueyue hadn’t thought to leave the military district to buy a birthday gift for their mom, they wouldn’t have come across the drug dealers, Lei Ting, and Hong Ying; wouldn’t have smelled the toxins and bombs on them.

What happened later wouldn’t have occurred.

Plus, the future newspaper Gu Jia Ning received just so happened on the same day as the system upgrade.

If it were a day later or if she chose another reward.

The consequences might have been the same as the past life.

So in the end, despite the thrills, it was the best possible outcome.

Sheng Zexi then spoke about Lin Chushi and his son.

The reason he brought them up was to remind Gu Jia Ning to be more cautious since Zhang Qiumei married Lin Chushi.

Now it seems, this husband and wife duo, if given a chance, would certainly make a move against them.

So, he must remind Ningning to be more cautious.

"I understand." Gu Jia Ning knew that Zhang Jianjun and Zhang Qiumei harbored resentment against her; it even triggered the malice detector, so she must be cautious.

Since it was really late.

The couple didn’t talk much more.

After finishing his meal, Sheng Zexi sat for a bit, digested, and then went to bed with Ningning.

However, tonight, Sheng Zexi still brought the two children onto their bed, sleeping between them.

Fearing that after what happened during the day, the two children wouldn’t sleep well.

Especially Xingxing, facing the dagger of that drug dealer directly, the image... even Sheng Zexi felt terrified.

Not to mention Xingxing, who was just over two years old.

In fact, their worries weren’t excessive.

In the latter half of the night, Xingxing indeed had nightmares.

Not only nightmares, but he also came down with a fever, murmuring for mommy, daddy, Yueyue, and Lei Ting in his sleep.

Gu Jia Ning quickly gave him medicine.

Sheng Zexi continued to wipe down his body, using physical methods to lower the fever.

Then, he kept holding Xingxing in his arms, walking around the room to comfort him.

Only being held in his arms did the feverish Xingxing seem to feel a sense of security, gradually calming down emotionally and physically.

However, he couldn’t be put down; every time he was, Xingxing, lacking a sense of security, would start having nightmares again.

So, Sheng Zexi kept holding him, walking around, soothing and comforting him.

Ningning wanted to take over, but Sheng Zexi refused.

"You go ahead and sleep. I’m fine; let me hold him. You’re pregnant and have to work tomorrow; you should get some sleep," Sheng Zexi said.
